Latency stage

Lawrence Kohlberg believed that people advanced through their moral reasoning in a series of stages. There are six identifiable stages that are classified into three levels. Pre-Conventional, Conventional, and Post-Conventional. When organized on a chart, it was classified as Level, stage, and social orientation so that you could understand which level, what stage as in age, and behavior of the person. The concept of moral development is based on thinking and logic, not on feelings for others.…

Isolation. According to Maria (1966) “identity achievement individuals have gone through a period of crisis and have made commitments to an occupation and ideology” (Adams & Kacerguis, 1980, p. 117). In this stage, adults seek meaningful relationships. Additionally, the goal of this stage is to “fuse identities” though intimacy (Adams & Kacerguis p. 118, 1980). During this time, she felt very isolated and alone living in the camps. However, she could form intimate relationships and bonds with…

In early childhood education there are many philosophers who have theories about early childhood. Each philosopher has a different point of view on how things should be set in for early childhood. In this paper I will discuss a few different philosophers I have learned about while taken early childhood classes. One of the many philosophers I have learned about in early childhood was Erik Erikson. Erik theories are broken down into four different subcategories. One of the sub categories is trust…

and apply logic, although their thinking is limited by direct experiences. By applying logic, children learn to grasp concepts of conservation, number, classification, and many other scientific ideas (The Developing Person, pg 49). Children in this stage finally begin to understand that there is no reversing death. This is different because, as Miriam demonstrated, at first she believed that Pepper would just wake up later that day. A 9-year-old would understand that Pepper cannot wake up after…

social aspects of their lives. There were nine stages to Erikson’s psychosocial development theory; “trust vs. mistrust,” “autonomy vs. shame and doubt,” “initiative vs. guilt,” “industry v. inferiority,” “identity vs. identity confusion,” “generativity vs. stagnation,” “integrity vs. despair,” and lastly “hope and faith vs. despair” (Crandell, Crandell, and Zanden). Trust vs. mistrust is from birth to one year’s old. During this developmental stage children learn to trust or not trust…

Introduction In this reflection paper, I will be particularly focusing on the following concepts of Alfred Adler’s Individual psychology and a brief theoretical background of Adler and how his childhood experiences have influenced his theory. The birth order, feeling inferiority, and compensation will then be defined and discussed as to how these concepts can be applied to my life. An individual’s attempt to compensate for the feelings of inferiority and to strive towards overcoming them,…

Cognitive Development Piaget’s Theory of Cognitive Development talks about how people gain information through the years. This happens in four stages: the sensorimotor stage, the preoperationational reasoning stage, the concrete operational stage, and the formal operational stage. This past week I have been studying a child in the concrete operational stage. This stage is from ages seven to eleven. In this period of time, the child will have “more flexible thinking and can think in more than…

Four Stage Model González-Herrero (1994) and González-Herrero and Pratt (1995, 1996) developed a four-stage model for crisis management which the various phases of crisis is considered analogous to the biological lifecycle from birth to death. The model describes the development of crisis with following sequential steps- birth, growth, maturity, and decline (death). The purpose of such demarcation is to clearly identify the different stages of the crisis so as to effectively deal with them.…

working with children and families. Piaget and Vygotsky are both cognitive theorists. They established that cognitive development took place in stages, but they have dissimilar styles of thinking. Piaget referred to the central ways of constructing and processing information as a cognitive framework. He understood that every child goes through four diverse stages of cognitive development, these are, sensorimotor, preoperational, concrete operational and formal operational. The study by Lindon…
